The shy profile pic of our demure Satin Angora/English Angora so delicately nibbling on cilantro leaves me with a query I hope someone here knows ways to help resolve.
Being a mix of angoras seems to make his coat perpetually clumped. We do shave him in the summer months (which are 9/12 in a Florida year) and he's finally accepted "OK....I don't like this but I'll be happier after." with a shorter period of "Why did you torture/humiliate me?!?!" following.
Here's the issue: Regardless of how we give in to his demands......Oh.. I mean acknowledge his concerns and try to address them...he won't let us cut a clump from his fur. He'll let me remove hard eye goobers and even tolerate being cradled (I suspect he likes this more than he'll admit.) but cut a clump? Well just call the ASPCA.
(Not talking sensitive areas here either.....Rabbit God forgive me should I get near those!)
Any helpful suggestions appreciated. Lagsmorph love y'all!
